\nBBA – Management Information Systems \/ Math Minor
\nMS – Industrial Employee Relations
\nAll obtained from Marshall University.<\/p>\n
\nI assist the university community with all things IT<\/p>\n
\nI like working at Marshall because I feel like I grew up here. I attended undergrad and graduate school here. After Grad school, I moved away and worked in other higher ed institutions but came back for this role in IT. I find Marshall provides a relaxed and productive atmosphere as well as a nice work\/life balance. More specifically, I like working in the Information Technology Division because I feel like we all work as a cohesive team. Even though there are several teams that make up the whole, the whole team functions as one and is able to accomplish some amazing things!<\/p>\n
\nI can’t pick just one! Some of my favorites are BackYard Pizza & Raw Bar, Black Sheep Burritos & Brews, Buddy’s BBQ, Shangri-La and Pho House.<\/p>\n
\nThe Pacific Northwest, a deserted beach, a snowy mountain, or any vibrant city foreign or domestic.<\/p>\n
\nEverything on Netflix. I’ve almost reached the end.<\/p>\n
\nI love to travel, spend time with my dog, kayaking and being in nature.<\/p>\n
